US Federal Judge Dismisses Atomic Wallet Class-Action Lawsuit

美国联邦法官驳回 Atomic 钱包集体诉讼

A US federal judge has dismissed a class-action lawsuit against Atomic Wallet, a crypto firm based in Estonia, citing a lack of jurisdiction. Judge Philip Brimmer of the Colorado district court concluded that there were insufficient grounds for the US court to handle the case.

一名美国联邦法官以缺乏管辖权为由，驳回了针对爱沙尼亚加密货币公司 Atomic Wallet 的集体诉讼。科罗拉多州地方法院法官菲利普·布里默（Philip Brimmer）的结论是，美国法院没有足够的理由处理此案。

Background

背景

The lawsuit was filed by a group of users following a $100 million hack in June 2023. The plaintiffs alleged that Atomic Wallet CEO Konstantin Gladyshev, shareholder Pavel Sokolov, and Evercode Infinite, the company that developed the wallet software, were responsible for their losses. The hack impacted around 5,500 users, who reportedly lost significant amounts of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), and Dogecoin (DOGE).

该诉讼是由一群用户在 2023 年 6 月遭遇价值 1 亿美元的黑客攻击后提起的。原告声称 Atomic Wallet 首席执行官 Konstantin Gladyshev、股东 Pavel Sokolov 以及开发该钱包软件的公司 Evercode Infinite 对他们的损失负责。此次黑客攻击影响了约 5,500 名用户，据报道，他们损失了大量比特币 (BTC)、以太坊 (ETH)、Tether (USDT) 和狗狗币 (DOGE)。

Dismissal

解雇

Atomic Wallet argued that it had "no US ties" and sought to have the case dismissed in November 2023. The plaintiffs countered that the company's app, available for download in Colorado, and its advertisements should establish jurisdiction.

Atomic Wallet 辩称其“与美国没有关系”，并寻求于 2023 年 11 月驳回此案。原告反驳说，该公司的应用程序（可在科罗拉多州下载）及其广告应确立管辖权。

However, Judge Brimmer rejected these arguments, stating that the digital nature of Atomic Wallet did not imply that the company specifically targeted Colorado residents. Despite the dismissal, Judge Brimmer granted the plaintiffs 21 days to strengthen their case.

然而，布里默法官驳回了这些论点，称 Atomic Wallet 的数字性质并不意味着该公司专门针对科罗拉多州居民。尽管被驳回，布里默法官还是给了原告 21 天的时间来加强他们的案情。

Stakeholders and Challenges

利益相关者和挑战

Ilia Brusov, founder and shareholder of Evercode Infinite, owns a 12.8% stake in Atomic Wallet, while Konstantin Gladyshev holds the remaining 74.4%. Despite the lawsuit dismissal, Atomic Wallet continues to face challenges as users seek to recover their funds and explore other legal options.

Evercode Infinite 的创始人兼股东 Ilia Brusov 拥有 Atomic Wallet 12.8% 的股份，而 Konstantin Gladyshev 则持有剩余的 74.4% 的股份。尽管诉讼被驳回，但随着用户寻求追回资金并探索其他法律选择，Atomic Wallet 仍面临挑战。
